behind all religions is . . .
Well? Can someone answer this?
It would be very good if you can state this in one clear sentence. (However, I understand if dogma, fuzzy thinking, lack of self-insight and fear of clarity make it impossible to do so).

The one truth behind all religion is that they are just a system of beliefs.

the truth is there is no truth all knowledge is unverifiable. the whole idea of true or false relies on the assumption that there is absolute truth and that is not verifiable. things can be relatively verified but never absolutely.

How can you verify any subjective experience to anybody else? You can't, thus, there is no definite truth or falsity, as all our experiences are subjective.

The one truth is that we all on some level fear the demise of that which we call the self.

that does seem to be fairly universal eh. seems to be the root reason for religion. the only way we wouldnt fear our own death is if we didnt exist.

No one is enthusiastic about death anxiety
What I have done I believe is pinpoint the root malaise behind the "human condition". The source from where all human endeavor and misery flows.

the argument that survival is the number one priority of the organism is hard to debate. that being the case, obviously the more a priority something is the more the organism will obsess over it.
